Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1-1/2 lbs ground beef (preferably ground chuck (80% lean / 20% fat))
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 slices cheese (optional)
- 4 hamburger buns (lightly toasted)
- Your favorite condiments and toppings
Instruction
- Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and form each into a loosely packed ball.
- Gently flatten each ball into a 3/4" thick patty. Using your fingertips, create a large indentation in the center so your patties resemble a shallow saucer.
- Chill the patties for 30 minutes before cooking. This step is optional, but it does help to ensure juiciness and you can use the time to get your condiments and toppings together.
